By Ricardo Farão. Composed by Marin Marais. Arranged by Ricardo Farão. This edition: pdf, streaming. Baroque, Classical, Early Music, Film/TV, Historic. Individual part. 5 pages. Ricardo Farão #1293643. Published by Ricardo Farão (A0.1731891).La Rêveuse — Marin Marais (arr. for Solo Classical Guitar by Ricardo Farão)
Invite your audience into the quiet glow of the French Baroque. “La Rêveuse” (the dreamer), sings in long, sighing lines that feel almost spoken. This new guitar edition preserves Marais’s intimate lyricism while realizing the continuo as a supple, idiomatic bass with supportive inner voices. The result is a piece that sounds naturally “guitaristic”: warm resonance, clear counterpoint, and space for tasteful ornamentation. Perfect for recitals, juries, church services, and refined background sets where elegance and calm are the brief.
Why this edition stands out
- Expressive, guitar-friendly fingerings that let the melody truly sing;
- Continuo thoughtfully realized for clarity and flow (no awkward stretches);
- Suggested agréments and phrasing to capture authentic Baroque rhetoric;
- Campanella options for luminous resonance, plus practical ossias where helpful;
- Clean, modern engraving with clear repeats and page turns;
Who it’s for
Classical guitarists seeking a lyrical showpiece under the fingers; teachers needing a Baroque work to develop legato, tone color, and stylistic nuance; advanced students preparing recital programs that contrast virtuosity with cantabile poise.
